I really like their current single "are you gonna be my girl", i noticed it while watching a commercial of all things. then i saw them tonite on saturday night live, WOW these guys sound amazing live! Their album has some really good tunes, although i was kinda let down that there was so many slower paced songs, i was looking foreward to an album filled with other high energy songs

anyways, anyone else like Jet?

EDIT: Upon downloading more of this album i've decided that i love it. It's awesome and just plain fun rock. It's simple and pure gold. Simple non-gravity way too!

Jet rocks, if you like rock n roll, no offense to OLP, but bands like Jet and Sam Roberts are pure rock n roll, they are playing music like it should be played

check out Jet or Sam Roberts if you get the chance

"Jet makes me not want to make music."
Julian Casablancas of The Strokes

I had to post that quote it made me laugh so hard when I read it. But their single really just drives me crazy. Can't comment on the rest of the record just that damn single. Sorry I normally won't post just to rip on something but I felt with the quote I had to...

Yeah i saw that lots of people either love Jet, or consider them a Garage rock wanna be, but i consider more of a pure rock record. Hell they ripped of AC/DC, the stones, and Oasis, more then The strokes, or The Vines. Meh it's just good fun.

As for the Sam comparison, at times i can see Sam, and they seem to have more of Sam's attitude then anaything. For some reason though these songs grew on my more then sam's did.

lol it's kinda funny cause normally i'm the complex alternative music kinda guy, or guitar laden prog rock. This album is nothing like that other stuff

i liike The Strokes too, but I guess they like saying whatever they want(Strokes), they can say what they want, but I like Jet's music, rock 'n' roll like it should be played, same goes for Sammy boy
Strokes don't sound pure

Are You Gonna Be My Girl is a really great song (you can't listen to it without dancing!) however it's being extremely overplayed.. :uh:

I liked the song the first time I heard it, but it kind of wore off for me.

They're not very original. It seems like they're kinda just an afterwash of the surge of popularity in "garage rock" like The Strokes, The Hives, The Vines, etc. But they're not really bad or anything. My suitemate has their CD and I like it okay.

I was just watching Much and Nardwuar was talking to them about that. They said that you can't copyright a rythm. Nardwuar said he thought they got it of someone else from a long time ago (I don't remembr who)

who cares if they ripped off lust for life, it's not like iggy pop will get shafted out of some money, i mean, he's already sold his soul to the devil over that song.

anyway, it's a catchy song, i like.

I missed the SNL performance. They did a show here a few weeks ago. it was radio only.

I love that Song, but i love the CD. It reminds me of Sam Roberts. A good time fun listening rocking CD.
The station here is playing the song Cold Heart Bitch

I have been playing the Jet and the SMile Empty Soul CD's alot .they are in my work bag to listen to on the way to and from work.
